Cuisinart SM-55BK 5-1/2-Quart 12-Speed Stand Mixer, Black
Housed in durable die-cast metal, this stand mixer features a powerful 800-watt motor that can handle the heaviest mixing tasks. Its large, 5-1/2-quart, stainless-steel bowl accommodates big batches–even double recipes. The unit also provides 12 mixing speeds, along with a 15-minute countdown timer and automatic shutoff, for maximum precision. Choose the slow-start function to eliminate splatter or the ultra-gentle fold function to carefully blend in delicate ingredients. The mixer’s tilt-back head allows for easy access to the mixing bowl and makes attaching accessories simple.
Accessories include a chef’s whisk, a flat mixing paddle, and a dough hook, as well as a splashguard. The whisk aerates ingredients to increase volume or can also be used on slow speed to gently combine dry ingredients. Contoured to reach the bottom and sides of the bowl, the flat mixing paddle ensures thorough mixing. The dough hook makes hand kneading obsolete, while the splashguard offers an extra-wide pouring spout for easily adding ingredients. The stand mixer also contains three power outlets, including a high-speed outlet for its optional dedicated attachments (meat grinder, citrus juicer, blender, food processor, or pasta maker–all sold separately). The stand mixer measures 15-1/2 by 10 by 12-1/2 inches and carries a three-year product warranty and a five-year motor warranty.

I’m a satisfied Cuisinart convert! I’ve been a long-time fan of the KitchenAid mixer. My grandmother has been using the same KitchenAid mixer since the late 50s, and it’s still going strong. I was thrilled to get a KitchenAid “Ultra-Power” mixer as a gift about seven years ago, and it worked great for occasional use. Over the past couple of years I’ve been doing more and more baking, and about a year ago I began making my own bread. After about six months of using my KitchenAid to knead two loaves of whole-wheat bread every week…
Poor quality I would strongly advice against buying this Cuisinart 5 ½ Quart Stand Mixer. I have purchased two machines in the last 9 years and neither are still working. The first stand mixer lasted about 6 years before it stopped working. Since it was no longer under warranty I decided to replace it. Since I still had the bowl and mixing paddle I bought another Cuisinart Stand Mixer. I purchased this one from Amazon in September of 2015. 6 months later it stopped working and I called Cuisinart…
Did not last 45 days!!!
